What is ISO/IEC 42001? The First International Standard for Artificial Intellige

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere now. But how can we make sure these smart systems are secure, ethical, and under control?
Enter ISO/IEC 42001!

ISO/IEC 42001 is the first international standard designed specifically for managing AI systems.
It guides organizations on both the technical and governance sides of AI. For AI developers, managers, and auditors—this is your compass!


Why Do We Need ISO/IEC 42001?

  • AI makes decisions—but on whose behalf? This standard defines responsibilities.

  • To avoid algorithmic bias, transparency is key—and ISO/IEC 42001 is built on that.

  • It integrates compliance and ethical principles directly into business practices.


What’s in the Scope?

The standard covers AI-specific risks, governance principles, data management, security, and transparency.


Competitors & Alternatives

  • NIST AI RMF (US): Provides guidelines, but no certification.

  • OECD AI Principles: Policy-level guidance only.

  • EU AI Act: Offers legal framework, lacks implementation depth.
    ISO/IEC 42001 stands out as a practical, certifiable standard.
